Sudden flushing of great general sympathetic desire will make a man feel weak at the knees.

Hatred will harden the tension of the knees like steel, and grip the feet like talons.

Thus the fields of touch are four, two sympathetic fields in front of the body from the throat to the feet, two resistant fields behind from the neck to the heels.
There are two fields of touch, however, where the distribution is not so simple: the face and the buttocks.

Neither in the face nor in the buttocks is there one single mode of sense communication.
The face is of course the great window of the self, the great opening of the self upon the world, the great gateway.

The lower body has its own gates of exit.
